.Lead Soldering EngineerAbout Advanced EnergyAdvanced Energy Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEIS), enables design breakthroughs and drives growth for leading semiconductors and industrial customers. Our precision power and control technologies, along with our applications know-how, inspire close partnerships and innovation in thin-film and industrial manufacturing. We are proud of our rich heritage, award-winning technologies, and we value the talents and contributions of all Advanced Energy's employees worldwide.Reporting to the Manufacturing Engineering head, this post leads a team of engineers and technicians to oversee all activities relating to soldering processes and machines, including but not limited to the design, setup, qualification, implementation, and control of soldering processes starting from new products to end-of-life products targeting zero soldering defects. Other tasks like equipment maintenance and improvement, new processes and machines, technology identification and implementation, and equipment and process standardization and consolidation are also critical areas he/she needs to take care of.This soldering engineer should understand the principles behind and have hands-on experience in all kinds of soldering processes, particularly but not limited to wave, reflow, selective nozzle, induction, hand, and robotic soldering processes and machines, PCB design, DFM related to soldering, soldering materials like solder, flux, and solder paste, rework and IPC-7711/7721, and workmanship and acceptance standards like IPC-A-610.ResponsibilitiesLead a soldering team – consists of engineers and technicians for activities regarding all wave soldering processes and machines in factories.Early involvement in NPI to ensure new products have high manufacturability – to bring up new products with designs compatible with existing soldering capabilities or identify new processes & equipment that can handle challenging and new design requirements, focusing on DFM, PFMEA, and Process Qualification, and meeting the new product's quality and cost requirements.Design and setup soldering processes, including rework processes, fixtures, and tools – to target zero soldering defects. Embed quality, repeatability, and poka-yoke into process design. Define process windows based on DoE and qualify the process before releasing it for production use.Resolve soldering issues – tackle soldering defects based on actual data and structured problem-solving methods to provide immediate actions to keep the line running, and long-term actions to prevent reoccurrence. Proactively monitor downstream processes to ensure no soldering-related issues. If there are any, take immediate corrective action with preventive actions in place.Process control – develop and maintain robust process control to ensure a consistent and zero-defect soldering process
